Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 therein a running fountain, 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 and cushions arrayed 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
